Hi everyone... I have a very good question that for the most of you will sound stupid maybe.... Is this little boy in the photo a Resistor or a Capacitor? thanks in advance |
| mariush:
It could be an inductor. If not, most likely it's a capacitor. Why not use a multimeter to check resistance across the pads? |
| giovesjo:
I checked and it gave me 0.2 ohms but this is also the value of the Multimeter if I connect the leads togheter. thanks for your answer!! |
| helius:
In that case, it is likely an inductor (the gray color also indicates that, as inductors are made from ferrites or iron alloys). Some resistors are made to be 0 ohms, effectively a short jumper, but SMD resistors are most often colored black. |
| giovesjo:
So you will exclude that is a resistor? |
